Dead Souls is widely considered to be the comic masterpiece of Russian literature. We dive into the first part of the novel and encounter a slick, scheming protagonist, a deluge of detail, and Russian landowners who range from the cloyingly chummy to the excitably pugilistic.






This episode is part of our 19th century Russian literature cycle.
